For a boy your heart is pretty see through
For a boy you sure let your guard down
When you know you want
Want what you see
And baby right now you're looking at me
The way you say my name
I know you ain't playing games

For a boy you're good at sayin sorry
For a boy I sure can feel your heart
It's like a freight train coming at me
I'm across the booth on the edge of my seat
You don't make me wait
You say what you came to say

Go on get it out boy say
I'm the only one that makes you this crazy
Come on and tell me how boy
How I'm the only thing you thinking about lately
But what you don' know, what you don't know
Is what a girl like me would do for a boy like you

For a girl I'm pretty cool, calm, and collected
For a girl who was getting more than she expected
From an ex love but here I am
You're putting your heart in the palm of my hand
I'm trying to act real cool
But inside I'm a lovesick fool

Go on get it out boy say
I'm the only one that makes you this crazy
Come on and tell me how boy
How I'm the only thing you thinking about lately
But what you don' know, what you don't know
Is what a girl like me would do
For a boy like you
for a boy like you

Go on get it out boy say
I'm the only one that makes you this crazy
Come on and tell me how boy
How I'm the only thing you thinking about lately
But what you don' know, what you don't know
Is what a girl like me would do for a boy like

Go on say it all boy
Put every last feeling out on the table
Come on it's last call boy
Before the night ends lets give this a label
'Cause what you don' know, what you don't know
Is what a girl like me would do for a boy like you
For a boy like you
What a girl like me would do
For a boy like you

Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
